Ah. Thanks for that one.
So there was atleast a subset of BLISS that ran on the PDP-11. Well,
that's years better than what I knew before.
I suspect that DEC didn't pursue that much further though, since they
stayed with BLISS-16 for the RSX code, and the requirement for a VMS
machine if you ever wanted to modify that stuff.
(Unless you want to modify the output from the BLISS-16 compiler of
course... :-) )

I have to say, that after looking at the code BLISS-16 generated, I was
extremely impressed. I even learned one or two tricks for MACRO-11
programming from looking at that. Absolutely the best code I've ever seen
something generate.

If someone is curious, and have M+, just look at [11,10]DRPFN.MAC
